solved the dial thing : you have to look at the eyes of the machine : when you are on the good symbol, they pop out a little more than when you're not. if you start up and go right until the = symbol, you can see that. Then, you can go on the other way till the eyes pop out a little more, and do that twice again and a teddy bear appears :)

Level 27 must be giving alot of people fits, including me. Because I placed the brown stick in left side and the worm wrapped around it and lighter stick in bowl and that is as far as I can get. Any help?

So, the signs will only work if the eyes have been transformed. You need to put the silver stick (no screws on the end, no bits sticking out) in the left hand hole near the snake and then place the glass bowl with dirt on the end of it. One the eyes have transformed, the the symbols will cause the eyes to bug slightly as you rotate in the proper direction. When you hit the next correct symbol, you will get a loud click.

i just realize that the dial/symbols thing changes every time. Every time you turn the dial, the eyes move a little. When you arrive on the good symbol with the good direction, the eyes move is different (the pop out a little more). When this happens, click the other arrow until you see the same thing with the eyes. Then you do it again with the next symbol then again.

I have posted help for the symbol thing. You just have to make sure you are at the proper stage before you start trying to solve it. Also, make sure you rotate the left side, then right, then left, then right. Rotate slowly so that you can either watch the eyes or hear the louder click when the proper symbol is reached so you can alter the side you rotate with.

The silver one goes on the left side near the snake and then you must attach the bowl with the dirt (after the tree has grown and you've gotten the bomb) to the base of the stick (life the bowl toward the silver stick and there will be a descending arrow flashing to attach - just like you get for the little flame and the water drop when you take them near the bowl earlier).

I cannot publish a video using hypercam. Can you be more specific about whhat stage you are in and how far you have gotten? If you;re not at the proper stage, the symbols thing in the middle will not work at all.

Ok I donated money and got the password but I have clicked on just about every part of the screen. To anyone who has finished the game could you tell me what to do next to get past the free half (level 68)?

Btw you have to have your sound on for the dial it will make a double clicking sound when you're on the right one if you went the right way.

Nice game, and a bit different from the other "grow" games. I'm glad to see that ON (the game creator) is alive and well and still working on his next big game. I've spent enough time playing his other games that I didn't hesitate to make a donation for this one, although I wonder if the password requirement will eventually be lifted.

A few general tips for people trying to solve this one: (1) Some puzzles cannot be solved when they first appear, so if you get stuck, try working on another part, then go back to the puzzle later, (2) There are a few places where you need to hold the mouse button, as opposed to just clicking or dragging, and (3) As has been pointed out, there is one puzzle that you need sound to solve.
